Coupon round-up!

There will be two inserts (RP and SS) in this Sunday’s paper. You can check out the full listing here on The Coupon Clippers. I didn’t see a whole lot to get excited about. Keep in mind that inserts vary by location, so your inserts may have different coupons or different dollar amounts.

If you are looking for multiple copies of coupons, The Coupon Clippers is my favorite resource. Coupons for the Sunday inserts are available for purchase early Saturday morning and the hot coupons go FAST.

Here are the highlights:

SMARTSOURCE
*.50/1 French’s Mustard on any (expires 9/10/09) – good for the 10/$10 sales if your store doubles because it will be free

*.75/1 Huggies baby WIPES on ONE package, 64 count or larger (expires 7/18/09)

*$1.50/1 Huggies DIAPERS on ONE package (expires 7/18/09)

Summer fun on a budget: season passes and city passes


Season passes – If you have a theme park in your area that your family enjoys, you may want to consider buying a season pass. Many parks offer season passes that are not much more than a day pass and once you have made the initial investment, your family can go over and over again so it makes a “cheap” day out.

Zoo memberships are another great investment. Many zoos offer “reciprocity” at other zoos when you purchase a membership which gives you free admission or heavy discounts. Check with your zoo to see if this is an option and if it is, it cuts down on sightseeing expenses if you go out of town, too!

City passes are another great option for cutting down on sightseeing expenses. They are currently available in 11 different areas and include a bundle of activities for about 50% off the regular price. For example, the Southern California City Pass includes: 3 day park hopper admission to Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure as well as admission to Universal Studios, Sea World, and the San Diego zoo.

City passes are currently available for the following cities:
*Atlanta
*Boston
*Chicago
*Hollywood
*Houston
*New York
*Philadelphia
*San Francisco
*Seattle
*Southern California
*Toronto

You can get more information about what activities are included for each city pass or purchase one here.

Summer fun on a budget: Crafts and other fun ideas for toddlers and preschoolers


During the summer months, you’ll be faced with rainy days or days where it is just too hot to go outside. Crafts are a great idea for keeping your toddlers and preschoolers entertained. Here are some of my favorite, budget friendly resources!

*These books by Trish Kuffner have been an absolute lifesaver in planning activities for my kids. They are available with free super saver shipping through Amazon and they are part of the “four for three” promotion (you get one book of equal or lesser value free when you purchase three participating titles).

*Websites with free or cheap ideas and printables:

DTLK – this is one of the first “kid” sites I discovered when my daughter was about 2 and we were working on skills like coloring and learing the alphabet – they have lots of great printables and kid friendly craft ideas

Enchanted Learning – lots of great printables and activity ideas for preschool-aged children and school-aged children

FamilyFun.com – we subscribe to the magazine also, but you can get great kid craft ideas and kid friendly recipes online, too!

**Amazon.com is offering an instant $3 off your subscription when you subscribe today, so you get a year’s subscription for $6.95.

Make and Takes – I subscribe to this blog and love getting my “daily fix” of craft ideas and kid friendly recipes!

Make and Takes

No Time for Flashcards – lots of great, affordable, ideas for kid fun!

No Time For Flash Cards

*Websites where you can purchase craft packets or other activities for a reasonable price:

1-2-3 Preschool Projects – Order a sample activity for free or order themed boxes or activities for the entire month. Prices for the activity packets and boxes are affordable, but they do kind of “get you” on shipping.

ActivityBags.com – lots of great preschool activities and ideas for making bags and swapping them with your friends

Oriental Trading Company – they have lots of great craft packets for preschoolers and school-aged kids. My daughter loves the “activities” I have gotten for her from here. Many of the activities come in “units” of 6-12 which means you can make things for family and friends or it provides a source of entertainment if you have a playdate. Don’t forget to order through Ebates to get 3% cash back (and a $5 bonus using this link if you haven’t signed up with them yet)
